Welcoming LGBTQ People

Each of us has worth and dignity, and that worth includes our gender and our sexuality. As Unitarian Universalists, we not only open our doors to people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, we value diversity of sexuality and gender and see it as a spiritual gift. We create inclusive religious communities and work for LGBTQ justice and equity as a core part of who we are. All of who you are is sacred. All of who you are is welcome. (From UUA.org)

The Unitarian Universalist Society of Mill Creek is a Welcoming Congregation, recognized by the Unitarian Universalist Association. This means we affirm and include people who are LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) at every level of congregational life — in worship, in program, and in social occasions — welcoming them as whole people.

Our Pledge to LGBTQ visitors and members

As a Welcoming Congregation we have pledged to:

Honor the lives of all people and equally affirm displays of caring and affection without regard for sexual orientation.

Celebrate diversity by using inclusive language and content in worship.

Incorporate an understanding of the experience of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer persons throughout all of our programs, including religious education.

Affirm and celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer issues and history.

Affirm marriage equality and conduct same-sex weddings.

Advocate for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people, promoting justice, freedom, and equality in the larger society. We speak out when the rights and dignity of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people are at stake.
